The leader of Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, condemned the systematic genocide in the Gaza Strip, stressing that the atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation are not isolated war crimes but part of a deliberate campaign to eradicate the Palestinian people under the auspices of the United States.

In a televised speech on Thursday, Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that "the daily criminal behavior of the Israeli occupation in Gaza reveals an intent to eliminate Palestinian existence altogether, not merely to achieve military gains." He warned that entire families have been wiped from civil records in a pattern reminiscent of the worst crimes in modern history.

Sayyed al-Houthi cited a 41% drop in birth rates and a 10% population decline in Gaza this year alone as concrete evidence of the Zionist project’s attempt to depopulate the besieged territory. He also highlighted the Israeli regime’s use of contractors to finish demolishing buildings, supported by a steady flow of bulldozers from the US. 

Al-Quds, al-Khalil facing accelerated Judaization 

Sayyed al-Houthi warned of the increasingly aggressive Israeli Judaization policies in occupied al-Quds and al-Khalil, criticizing the normalization of once-outrageous violations against holy sites.

He noted that the occupation authorities had organized a film festival near the Old City of al-Quds as part of efforts to impose a Jewish identity on the city. In al-Khalil, he condemned the Israeli regime’s recent move to strip the local municipality of authority over the Ibrahimi Mosque, calling it another step in a long-term scheme of erasure and domination. 

“The enemy no longer hides its real intentions,” al-Houthi said. “It has become openly hostile to any notion of a Palestinian state, whether in the West Bank or elsewhere.” 

United States architect of genocide

The Ansar Allah leader placed direct blame on Washington for the war on Gaza, describing the aggression as “American before Israeli.”

“This is a fully coordinated project,” he said, “with the Zionist role being merely operational. The planning, intelligence, weapons, and political cover all come from the United States.”

Sayyed al-Houthi argued that this alignment reflects a broader American strategy to subjugate the region, not merely a temporary alliance or political stance. He linked the massacre in Gaza with other American-led projects in Lebanon and Syria, which he said form part of the same imperialist blueprint targeting the broader Arab and Islamic world.

He also lamented the complicity of certain Arab regimes that continue to fund the aggression through US arms deals. “It is deeply regrettable,” he said, “that Arab money is still financing the Israeli war effort via American intermediaries.”

Armed resistance in Gaza prevents Israeli expansion

Sayyed al-Houthi hailed the resilience and ingenuity of Palestinian Resistance factions, especially in Gaza, for inflicting ongoing military and psychological defeats on the Israeli occupation. He praised the late Mohammad Deif, the martyred commander of al-Qassam Brigades, calling him a symbol of faith-driven resistance and tactical excellence.

Deif and his comrades, according to al-Houthi, launched their resistance from the ground up, yet managed to cripple the enemy's momentum, proving the effectiveness of armed resistance even under extreme conditions.

Sayyed al-Houthi asserted that the Palestinian Resistance was crucial in preventing the conflict from expanding into a wider regional war, crediting it with halting the Israeli regime’s ambitions to escalate militarily across borders.

He also noted the Israeli occupation's ongoing manpower crisis, pointing to its struggles in recruiting ultra-Orthodox Jews (Haredim) into military service.

Warning against resistance defamation

Finally, Sayyed al-Houthi warned of intensive media campaigns aimed at demoralizing supporters of the Palestinian cause and portraying resistance as futile or “suicidal.”

He insisted that the path of resistance is not only legitimate but proven, and that surrender only deepens the region’s subjugation. “Freedom will never come from the colonizer,” he said. “Dignity is restored only through defiance and steadfastness.”

The Israeli economic media outlet The Marker reported that the port of Eilat will completely cease operations starting next Sunday after the city municipality froze its bank accounts due to millions of shekels in accumulated debts.

This development comes as the port has faced near-total paralysis since November 2023, when Yemen imposed a naval blockade on ships heading to "Israel", leading to a sharp decline in revenue and a collapse in commercial activity at the facility.

Yemen devastates Israeli economy

The Eilat Municipality announced that it had frozen the port's bank accounts due to massive accumulated debts, and according to the Israeli economic outlet The Marker, all operations will come to a complete halt starting Sunday, signaling a total economic shutdown of the port.

The crisis at Eilat Port began when Yemeni forces imposed a naval blockade on ships heading to "Israel," prompting international shipping companies to avoid the Red Sea route, which brought the port's operations to a near standstill and caused a collapse in its revenue.

Earlier, Israeli business newspaper The Marker revealed that Eilat Port's revenues had plummeted by 80% in 2024 after ships stopped docking there due to Yemen's maritime blockade in the Red Sea, which was imposed in support of the Gaza Strip.
